경제학적 관점에서 바라본 CSR의 이론 및 실증 분석 : ‘공공재로서 CSR’과 ‘전략적 CSR’을 중심으로

초록

Recently, research on CSR is increasing in both Korea and the rest of the world. However, little research has been conducted in the field of economics in Korea. This paper introduces recent development in the economic analysis of CSR in the world, and empirically investigates the association of CSR with the national economy. Economics literature on CSR shows that CSR can be a result of firms’ strategic behaviors, leading to greater social welfare. The empirical analysis using the National Corporate Responsibility Index data presents that CSR is negatively associated with the share of government consumption in GDP, which is consistent with the model of Besley andGhatak (2007). This result also implies that government regulation on CSR may not be socially preferable.
